The OpenBSD team doesn't ask for gratitude, they ask for money and they ask for everyone to act in accordance with Theo de Raadt's claimed copyright on the CD layout. I have provided both.

Any moron can download as many or as little in terms of supported platforms, from the OpenBSD ftp site and then make bootable CD's from that.

Not a problem in the eyes of any of the OpenBSD team, including Theo.

The only thing he does'nt want, is for people to copy the CD's he has already provided as the official CD's. Big fucking shit.

If you want to be sure that you're getting the most secure OpenBSD distro, then purchase the real CD's. ftp sites get hacked from time to time and copies of "official" CD's can be just about as trustworthy.

I also use Debian, BTW.

The team does NOT ask for money to download as much as you want from the ftp sites. Hell, they even provide floppy images to be used for making bootable CD's! They don't have to ask for gratitude, any moron can see that they deserve it. The copyrighted CD layout only applies to the offical CD's.
